To start Romo would be unfair to the rest of the team which many believe has a chance to contend this year.

His overall tone was that Bledsoe was the guy. I think he just wanted to let the D.C. media know that we actually are developing a guy that could be something. He was presented with questions about the Cowboys QB situation.

If Romo has a live and accurate arm and does well in making his reads...he may actually be a better option for us than Bledsoe because Romo, from what I've read and heard, is better at avoiding the rush and is more mobile.
The question is...would BP make that dramatic of a move if it was clear that Romo was undoubtedly the better option?

Starting Romo in my opinion would have to viewed as to exactly what it is.....a simple evaluation of the kid against 1st team starters nothing more nothing less.

It is in the teams best interest to see if Mr Romo can be viewed as a 1st rate backup if Bledsoe goes down. If we are to contend it is imperative we have some idea as to what the kid can do if needed.

When was the last time we went all out on O in our first Pre-season game anyway?

I wish he could be throwing to TO & Glenn.....

I think Romo might be starting because they HAVE to make a decision about him. Henson is signed for a while.

Perhaps they are thinking they'll give Romo alot of work, if he doesn't cut it, they'll bring in a vet

It really is time for the team to see what they have in him.

I think that's a pretty good assessment.

I hope we do start Romo against Seattle, give him a chance to compete against starters from another team.

Exactly.

Rumor has it that we're looking at giving Romo an extention. We HAVE to know something about him. We can't just give him a huge bonus without knowing how he can compete against big time competition.

Bring on the Tony Romo experiment. I was actually hoping that he would get a chance to put some work in with the first team offense in the pre-season, so it is good news to hear that Parcells is thinking the same thing.

Iago33 · 08-08-2006

MOXIE, baby!

GloryDaysRBack · 08-08-2006

This might sound strange to many of you but parcell's has stated numerous times in his press conferences that he doesn't want to get his qb killed vs seattle (due to the struggles of the offensive line). IMO this is a GREAT way to "evaluate" romo cough cough and save bledsoe from getting killed. Now by no means am I saying this is definitely his thought process, but hey, you never know. I mean REALISTICLY even IF Romo outplays Bledsoe the entire pre season im willing to bet less than 5 percent of us would say Parcell's would be willing to declare Romo our starter on the depth chart.

InmanRoshi · 08-08-2006

I don't think it really matters who starts this game as QB. The offensive gameplan on Saturday is going to be the most vanilla of vanillas, with the focus on evaluating the offensive line. Parcells is going to want to see exactly where the OL is at this point, for better or worse. There will be running plays called just for the sake of evaluating a particular offensive lineman that will have nothing to do with getting a first down or winning the game

Even if he does start this game, I think Romo will be given another start further down the preseason road, perhaps the last game, that will be his true "evaluation" game where there is a game plan formed similar to a regular season game preperation week and he'll be asked to go out and execute it.

Romo is 6'2", per his combine measurement.

Exactly how tall do you have to be to have a "place" in your estimation? 6'4"?

Joe Montana was 6'2". Steve Young was 6'2" Brett Favre is 6'2" Elway was 6'3". Roger Staubach was listed between 6'2" and 6'3". Fran Tarkenton was 6'0". Warren Moon 6'3". Dan Fouts 6'3".
